AI document processing
AI-assisted document summarisation, question answering, comparison, translation and structured data extraction from business files and internal documents.
The problem
Important information often sits inside contracts, reports, spreadsheets and presentations that take time to read manually, and finding a specific answer or figure across many documents is slow and easy to get wrong.
How it works
Documents are processed so their content can be summarised, searched and queried directly. Rather than reading a file from start to end, a user can ask a question and receive an answer drawn from the document itself, or request a structured extract of the information that matters.
Capabilities
- Processing of PDF, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files
- Document summarisation
- Question answering over document content
- Structured information extraction
- Document comparison and translation
Business use cases
Contract and report review
Summarises lengthy documents and surfaces the sections that matter.
Structured data extraction
Pulls specific fields or figures out of documents into a structured, usable format.
Implementation process
- 1Confirm the document types and formats involved
- 2Define what should be summarised, extracted or compared
- 3Configure processing for the relevant document set
- 4Review accuracy against real documents before rollout
Integration considerations
Document handling is configured according to how sensitive the content is, and processed documents can be connected to a chat assistant so answers reference the source material directly rather than being repeated as separate content.
Security and human oversight
Document access and processing are scoped to what a given use case requires, and how documents are stored and handled is agreed as part of setup rather than assumed.
Frequently asked questions
Which document formats are supported?
PDF, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX are currently supported.
Can it answer questions about a specific document rather than just summarising it?
Yes. Question answering over document content is a core part of this capability, alongside summarisation and extraction.
This capability is demonstrated in the AI Business Assistant Platform.
